From Faith to Great Faith Fon


Today the Holy Spirit reminded me that because of my faith, what I have prayed for, asked for and trusted God for, WILL BE DONE!! 

“Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, your faith [your personal trust and confidence in My power] is great; it will be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that moment.” — ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:28‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I have already made Matthew 15:28 personal so I can stand on it and remind God of it. Check it out! “Then Jesus answered her, “Fon, your faith [your personal trust and confidence in My power] is great; it will be done for you as you wish.” — ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:28‬ ‭AMP‬‬

In the study notes of my bible, Dr. Evans says that this woman (who I now call ME) started with faith. Then by persevering through a series of difficulties intended by God to take her deeper, she ended up with GREAT faith (read the verses before verse 28) to see this exchange.

He also told me that there is nothing that is impossible with Him. 

“Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!”— ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:23‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The Holy Spirit said, DOCUMENT your faith for My namesake. 

When I looked up namesake I found a definition that says: for the sake of showing His abilities and His character. Whose abilities and character? God’s abilities and God’s character!

I believe the Lord is saying, document your journey of faith so I can be glorified! Demonstrate my abilities and my character by documenting how I blessed you because of your great faith!! 

Hallelujah!!


SALVATION PRAYER

If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
